March 26 - Crescent Moon

Light

The early morning moonrise over Canal Park in late March is a beautiful sight to photograph. Quiet waters and saturated colors offer a refreshing start to the day.

At this time of year, Earth’s tilt creates longer dawn transitions in northern latitudes. A fading crescent moon often lingers near sunrise, allowing night and day to briefly overlap in a gentle exchange of light.

There is something peaceful about the lighthouse and the moon in this scene. They quietly set the stage for the approaching day. The moon is fading, the sun has not yet fully arrived, yet calmness remains. Like the flow of the seasons, change begins subtly. Winter does not disappear overnight, but the light increases daily.

In life, we often stand in that same in-between space — not fully in darkness, not fully in daylight. Still, the Light of Christ remains.

“He made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows its time for setting.” — Psalm 104:19

We are already 83 days into the year. Take a deep breath, make the most of today, and enjoy the day God has given you. There will never be another like it.
